The Set is Taking Shape...

We caught up with Lisa Thomas, set designer for Hidden Spire to see what we can expect when we watch the show next month."As Set and Costume Designer for Hidden Spire my challenge is to create an interesting set, source and customise costumes and then work with Crisis members to create it all! The setting for the Hidden Spire is an old, dated, run down clock shop which is stuck in the past even though the world has moved on. I wanted the design to be slightly quirky, with interesting angles and circles to reflect the clocks. The focus of the set will be the back wall of the shop which will be covered in clocks of all shapes and sizes. If you have any old clocks you'd like to donate then please bring then along to the Old Fire Station by the 9th December. Any will be appreciated!"

Here you like to put some tips which help to draw such amazing pictures. As we know that painting is not easy job and only expert people able to do it. At the same time ideas are also important with skills. Actually, I want to know about the essaylab prices and for this purpose i have visited some websites.

Hidden Spire

Hidden Spire brings professional artists and homeless people together to create a performance using music, dance, theatre, visual arts and more. The two groups work together every step of the way and aim to produce an event which will stir, enchant, amuse and intrigue.

Everything from set design, script-writing and front-of-house is done as a collaboration between the artists and clients of national homeless charity Crisis.

Hidden Spire isn’t just a production, it’s a process – it demonstrates the value and potential of having a public arts centre and resources for homeless people in the same building. Most importantly, it shows that excellent art and inclusive art can be the same thing.

Why call it Hidden Spire?

In the centre of Oxford is a tower which is hard to spot. We call it the Hidden Spire. It started life in the 19th Century as the place where small boys would have to climb and hang hoses to dry in Oxford’s first Fire Station.

It is now the route for homeless people to access the help they need to move on, for professional artists to develop their craft and for the general public to get to a dance class, a jazz night or a short story reading.
